Generously grease 24 mini muffin cups with coconut oil, or spray with cooking spray. In large bowl, place cereal; set aside.

In food processor, add dates, walnuts and 1 tablespoon water; pulse in 1-second bursts about 30 seconds or until finely chopped.

Add oats, banana and chia seed; process until mixture comes together into a ball.
